New Providence serves as a New Jersey Transit stop located in New Providence, New Jersey along the Gladstone Branch of the Morris and Essex line. The station building, dating back to 1899 and built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, still stands today. It is positioned close to where Old Springfield Avenue intersects with Division Avenue. In 1931, Springfield Avenue was redirected to the north of the station; the previous segment running alongside the tracks has since been converted into additional parking space.
The station was initially called West Summit until March 1927, when it was renamed to minimize confusion in railroad schedules, despite objections from residents of Summit, New Jersey.
